Q: You indicate that this machine will thermally bind up to 150 sheets. In the accessories covers are available labeled 1/16 binding 15 sheets through 1/4 binding 60 sheets. What is the significance of the dimension 1/16, 1/4 etc. What covers are used to bind up to 150 sheets as specified? Do the referenced dimensions (1/16, 1/4 etc) refer to the amount of space at the left the binding process uses? All the covers you show indicate a clear front cover and colored back cover - are solid front covers available? Thanks in advance for your help. Asked on 6/2/2013 by Mike from Page, AZ Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: The significance of the dimensions 1/16 or 1/4 refers to how thick the paper can be in the report for the machine to still bind that report cover. Some will hold 15 sheets (1/16 thickness) and some will hold 30 sheets (1/4 thickness). We do offer a white front cover in our report covers. It is item 572657.
